According to our kitchen knife expert
Get the most frequently used kitchen knives with this set. This set from Wusthof contains a vegetable knife, a meat knife, and a chef's knife. All knives from the Wusthof Classic series are forged from one piece of high-quality stainless steel. The knives have been hardened up to 58-degree Rockwell, which ensures that your knives stay sharp for long. But they're still easy to sharpen. The traditional handles are triple-riveted and made of high-quality maintenance-free plastic. The knives from Wusthof are manufactured in Solingen, traditionally regarded as the German city of blades. Manufacturing takes place in the most modern blade factory of the world. The knives were sharpened according to the PEtec method. In addition, each blade has been checked and optimized with a laser and manually multiple times, to ensure high quality.

If you are looking around for a decent, complete and above all razor-sharp knife set, think about this set for a while. I've had this trio for a few weeks now and I love it. And not just me, everyone in the house has two new favorites!
Why Wüsthof? And more specifically, why this particular set? Wüsthof is widely praised for its good and solid knives. At least, that's what I heard around me and I read in reviews. Given Coolblue's flexible return policy, I dared to just order them. I wanted to know if those reviewers were right! A day (chapeau Coolblue!) later I was able to put it to the test.
None of the reviews turned out to be less true, what a pleasant knife! So sharp that you could shave with it (my arm has a few hairs less now). They both fit comfortably in the hand and have a pleasantly heavy handle (not too much!) to compensate for the blade. The knife therefore feels balanced. Now these last two properties are of course taste dependent, but nothing stops you from experiencing it for yourself like I did!
It must be said, however, that people with small hands may find the large knife just a bit too large for comfortable cutting. Fortunately, Wüsthof also sells a chef's knife of 16 or 18 centimeters.
I have also read several times in reviews that these knives (Wüsthof Classic) last a lifetime, if they are properly maintained. I cannot of course confirm whether this is true. It wouldn't surprise me though! A reason for me to go for Wüsthof!
And then another plus of this set specifically; the maintenance. There are three ways to keep a knife sharp and in good condition:
However, option 1 is pricey and cannot provide you with daily, minor maintenance.
Option 2 is effective, but there is a danger. If you use the sharpening steel or whetstone with the wrong technique - for example at the wrong angle - you will do valuable knives more harm than good. Then in a while you'll be scouring the internet for new knives!
Using method 3, the knife sharpener, nothing can really go wrong. You simply run the cutting edge through the sharpener a number of times and your knife is sharp. There is an opening for sharpening a dull blade, and one for regular fine sharpening. So you always have a razor-sharp knife!
In conclusion, this set offers three essential parts for the kitchen. Two good knives and a knife sharpener to keep them in the same top condition you got them in.

I've been using my Classic set from Wüsthof for a while now, razor sharp at the start and in a nice protective box. The knife is very comfortable in the hand and weighs quite a lot so that you don't have to exert pressure when, for example, you are embossing an onion. The weight is also ideally distributed over the blade and handle. Cutting an onion can be done within 3 seconds, the knife is so sharp that the onion doesn't even have the tendency to fall apart. The sharpener is very easy to use, personally I find it easier as a sharpening steel. Would like to inform you that this is a set for people with some experience in connection with the sharpness of the knives. Can imagine that an amateur chef does not have the right cutting techniques to be able to work properly and safely with these knives.
